Whats the best thing to use to hang this up?!

angelcake

I bought a hanging storage bag from Woolworths, it is a pig, the link is the closest to what I can find that looks like it!! anyway I went to put it in my daughters' bedroom and it doesn't have anything to hang it up with! sorry to sound dumb but I was wondering if anyone could help? on the picture is a bar that looks like a bathroom towel rail but I don't wanna go spending lots of money to do it!! Also my walls are rubbish so may have to fix it to ceiling!! Please help!

If you have to fix it to the ceiling then surely a simple hook through the ceiling into a cross beam will do ?

The hook type i am thinking of is the type used to hang up garden tools, you can get them cheaply from diy stores.
they are a bit like a big cup hook.

You would then need to suspend some rope etc from the hook to connect the bag to unless you have a very tall daughter !

You should be able to do the same thing - hook into a wall even on a new house there are support beams.
But you do need to be careful to ensure you miss any wiring
in the cavity

What I am scared of is her pulling it down and it hurting her, I will prob only use if for soft toys.

Wouldn't suspending it from rope cause it to twist?

thank you very much for your suggestions I shall pop to the diy store and see what I can find in the way of big garden hooks!

(My daughter is only 3 - in March, so have to ensure its safety!! I can always give it to my 12 year old sister who isn't likely to try and sleep in it!! ;D)

It should be a case of puting a rawplug into your wall/ceiling and then using a screw-in hook which should easily support the light weight. The only thing you need is a drill to put the hole in the wall.
